【OG20-P578-663题】Boreal owls range over a much larger area than do other owls of similar size. Scientists have hypothesized that it is scarcity of prey that leads the owls to range so widely. This hypothesis would be hard to confirm directly, since it is not possible to produce a sufficiently accurate count of the populations of small mammals inhabiting the forests where boreal owls live. Careful study of owl behavior has, however, shown that boreal owls do range over larger areas when they live in regions where food of the sort eaten by small mammals is comparatively sparse. This indicates that the scientists' hypothesis is not sheer speculation.
In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following sheer speculation
-
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

第一个boldface是Scientists的一个猜想,下一句说This hypothesis would be hard to confirm directly,相当于反驳了那个猜想。However,第二个boldface,又反驳了上一句。 This indicates that 最终结论。
A.第二个boldface是主要结论,错,它的下一句才是
B.第一个是个猜想,第二个呈现了证据来支持猜想,正确,反驳了反驳即为支持
C.第二个呈现证据来支持另外一个解释,错误
D.第一个是argument所支持的,不是反驳的
E.第一个是argument所支持的,不是反驳的,第二个boldface不是主要结论

Mariposa爱学习
做黑体题最好的方法还是得读原文,理清逻辑(在考场上又不知道遇到的是难题还是简单题,简单的方法遇到难题就完了 每句话判断属性和态度,才能清楚中间关系(做笔记!) 反正我用这个方法已经做到全对了,想想吧,是赶时间重要还是正确率重要? 比如这道题的however就是一个陷阱,如果不通读原文理解意思,而是直接判断前后内容态度相反,就会弄错

又大又圆肉包打狗后没了
第二个黑体前面however是转折hard to confirm directly的,也就是however后面的内容提供了直接的证明。

重点在于看懂最后一句,“说明科学家的假设不是纯粹的猜测”,即黑脸2是supportive

要么看懂scarce和sparse都是稀少的意思,说明黑脸12方向一致; 要么看懂最后一句里的sheer speculation。
